Understanding Mental Retardation Waivers
A waiver is a funding source that allows you to live in your own community and receive Mental Retardation services. This training describes how to apply for a waiver. You will learn what documents you must fill out, what requirements you must meet, and what information you must give to be sure you get the benefits for which you might be eligible. We also describe the types of services available in your home and community that are paid for through waivers.
